[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit 0/9] cache: Implement cache-max-size and method of reclaiming space from the cache.
This patch series enhances the cache filter in a few ways, primarily adding a "cache-on-read" feature (similar to qemu's copyonread); and adding the ability to limit the cache size and the antecedent of that which is having a method to reclaim cache blocks. As the cache is stored as a sparse temporary file, reclaiming cache blocks simply means punching holes in the temporary file. The tricky bit is working out where to punch the holes to avoid reclaiming recently/frequently used blocks. I believe the status of the patch series is: [1/9] cache: Rename blk_writeback function. [2/9] cache: Add cache-on-read mode. [3/9] common/bitmap: Include <nbdkit-plugin.h>. [4/9] cache: Split out the block/bitmap code into - All of the above patches are pretty uncontroversial and ready for review and upstreaming. [5/9] cache: Allow this filter to serve requests in - Probably needs more testing, but should be OK too. [6/9] common/bitmap: Add bitmap_next function and tests. [7/9] common/bitmap: Add bitmap_clear function. [8/9] cache: Implement LRU structure. [9/9] cache: Implement cache-max-size and method of - Needs much better testing, and maybe even review of the design. Rich.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit 1/9] cache: Rename blk_writeback function.
The blk_writeback function was misnamed, since depending on the cache
mode and flags it could either do a writethrough or a writeback [write
to the cache only].
Since it's really the general "write a block" function, rename it
simply as blk_write. Note there exists a blk_read function already.
There are several related changes in this commit, but it's entirely
refactoring and makes no functional difference.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit 4/9] cache: Split out the block/bitmap code into separate files.
This change is almost completely code motion.
The only part which is not simple movement of code is that I changed
‘cache_flush’ so that it does not lazily allocate the bounce buffer.
This change considerably simplifies the code and the performance
impact should be minimal.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit 6/9] common/bitmap: Add bitmap_next function and tests.
It's useful to be able to search for the next non-zero entry in a
bitmap. This commit adds a ‘bitmap_next’ function to do that.
Because the bitmap is just a uint8_t buffer, using fast string
functions we should be able to do this quickly even if the bitmap is
sparse. (However the actual implementation is not optimized since
that is quite complicated - see to-do comments in
common/include/nextnonzero.h).
I wasn't confident about the correctness of the code and so this
commit also adds some unit tests covering all of the bitmap code.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH nbdkit 9/9] cache: Implement cache-max-size and method of reclaiming space from the cache.
The original plan was to have a background thread doing the reclaim.
However that cannot work given the design of filters, because a
background thread cannot access the next_ops struct which is only
available during requests.
Therefore we spread the work over the request threads. Each blk_*
function checks whether there is work to do, and if there is will
reclaim up to two blocks from the cache (thus ensuring that we always
make forward progress, since each blk_* function can only add at most
one block to the cache).

+=head1 CACHE MAXIMUM SIZE
+
+By default the cache can grow to any size (although not larger than
+the virtual size of the underlying plugin) and you have to ensure
+there is sufficient space in C<$TMPDIR> for it.
+
+Using the parameters C<cache-max-size>, C<cache-high-threshold> and
+C<cache-low-threshold> you can limit the maximum size of the cache.
+
+Some examples:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item C<cache-max-size=1G>
+
+The cache is limited to around 1 gigabyte.
+
+=item C<cache-max-size=1G cache-high-threshold=95 cache-low-threshold=80>
+
+Once the cache size reaches 972M (95% of 1G), blocks are reclaimed
+from the cache until the size is reduced to 819M (80% of 1G).
+
+=back
+
+The way this works is once the size of the cache exceeds
+S<C<SIZE> ✕ the high threshold>, the filter works to reduce the
size
+of the cache until it is less than S<C<SIZE> ✕ the low threshold>.
+Once the size is below the low threshold, no more reclaim work is done
+until the size exceeds the high threshold again.
+
+The default thresholds are high 95% and low 80%. The thresholds are
+expressed as percentages of C<cache-max-size>, and may be greater than
+100.
+
+The reclaiming work discards blocks from the cache in the following
+order of priority:

[Libguestfs] [PATCH v2 nbdkit 9/9] cache: Implement cache-max-size and method of reclaiming space from the cache.
This is version 2 of patch 9/9. Patches 1 through 8 didn't change so I didn't repost them. v2: - Implement a proper test. This turned out to be quite a lot more complicated than anticipated. - Fix the call to fallocate. It turns out that fallocate hole punching silently does nothing unless you use ‘FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE|FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE’.

Jones" <rjones@redhat.com> Date: Sat, 22 Dec 2018 15:46:14 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] cache: Implement cache-max-size and method of reclaiming space from the cache. The original plan was to have a background thread doing the reclaim. However that cannot work given the design of filters, because a background thread cannot access the next_ops struct which is only available during requests. Therefore we spread the work over the request threads. Each blk_* function checks whether there is work to do, and if there is will reclaim up to two blocks from the cache (thus ensuring that we always make forward progress, since each blk_* function can only add at most one block to the cache). --- filters/cache/nbdkit-cache-filter.pod | 71 +++++++++++ filters/cache/cache.h | 13 ++ filters/cache/blk.c | 163 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ filters/cache/cache.c | 56 +++++++++ filters/cache/lru.c | 7 +- TODO | 11 +- tests/Makefile.am | 3 +- tests/test-cache-max-size.sh | 96 +++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 408 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) create mode 100755 tests/test-cache-max-size.sh diff --git a/filters/cache/nbdkit-cache-filter.pod b/filters/cache/nbdkit-cache-filter.pod index bfbada0..c2b8e5c 100644 --- a/filters/cache/nbdkit-cache-filter.pod +++ b/filters/cache/nbdkit-cache-filter.pod @@ -5,6 +5,9 @@ nbdkit-cache-filter - nbdkit caching filter =head1 SYNOPSIS nbdkit --filter=cache plugin [cache=writeback|writethrough|unsafe] + [cache-max-size=SIZE] + [cache-high-threshold=N] + [cache-low-threshold=N] [cache-on-read=true|false] [plugin-args...] @@ -51,6 +54,14 @@ This is dangerous and can cause data loss, but this may be acceptable if you only use it for testing or with data that you don't care about or can cheaply reconstruct. +=item B<cache-max-size=SIZE> + +=item B<cache-high-threshold=N> + +=item B<cache-low-threshold=N> + +Limit the size of the cache to C<SIZE>.

(In particular, since we don't implement NBD_FLAG_CAN_MULTI_CONN, we already admit that two clients trying to write in parallel are not guaranteed to see consistent read results after a flush - while caching read data only makes that more apparent)> +++ b/tests/test-cache-on-read.shWhat you have here looks okay, but I have a possible idea for an additional test: use the delay filter to prove that repeated reads of a region of the disk only suffer a one-time read penalty, rather than a penalty per read. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3226 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
